    Notes: Natural peatlands accumulate carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). They affect the global climate by binding carbon dioxide (CO2) and releasing methane (CH4) to the atmosphere; in contrast fluxes of nitrous oxide (N2O) in natural peatlands are insignificant. Changes in drainage associated with forestry alter these greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes and thus the radiative forcing (RF) of peatlands. In this paper, changes in peat and tree stand C stores, GHG fluxes and the consequent RF of Finnish undisturbed and forestry-drained peatlands are estimated for 1900–2100. The C store in peat is estimated at 5.5 Pg in 1950. The rate of C sequestration into peat has increased from 2.2 Tg a--1 in 1900, when all peatlands were undrained, to 3.6 Tg a--1 at present, when c. 60% of peatlands have been drained for forestry. The C store in tree stands has increased from 60 to 170 Tg during the 20th century. Methane emissions have decreased from an estimated 1.0–0.5 Tg CH4--C a--1, while those of N2O have increased from 0.0003 to 0.005 Tg N2O--N a--1. The altered exchange rates of GHG gases since 1900 have decreased the RF of peatlands in Finland by about 3 mW m--2 from the predrainage situation. This result contradicts the common hypothesis that drainage results in increased C emissions and therefore increased RF of peatlands. The negative radiative forcing due to drainage is caused by increases in CO2 sequestration in peat (--0.5 mW m--2), tree stands and wood products (--0.8 mW m--2), decreases in CH4 emissions from peat to the atmosphere (--1.6 mW m--2), and only a small increase in N2O emissions (+0.1 mW m--2). Although the calculations presented include many uncertainties, the above results are considered qualitatively reliable and may be expected to be valid also for Scandinavian countries and Russia, where most forestry-drained peatlands occur outside Finland.

    Notes: Abstract The post-drainage changes in vegetation composition and carbon balance were studied on four site types (from minero- to ombrotrophic conditions) in Lakkasuo mire, central Finland, by directly comparing undrained and drained parts (30 years ago) of the mire. Drainage had drastically changed the species composition of the sites, especially at the minerotrophic sites, where almost all Sphagna had been replaced by forest mosses. On the ombrotrophic sites much of the mire vegetation still remained 30 years after drainage. Drainage had decreased the C stores in ground vegetation on the minerotrophic sites but increased them on the ombrotrophic sites. The changes were, however, very small compared to the changes in the tree stand, where the C stores had increased at all sites (increasing with nutrient level). The change in peat C balance over the 30-year post-drainage period was negative on the most nutrient-rich site, and positive on the others, increasing with lower nutrient levels. The decrease in the peat C balance on the most nutrient-rich site was compensated by the greater increase in the tree stand C stores and the changes in the total C balance (peat+tree stand+ground vegetation) remained positive on all sites.

    Description: We estimated fine-root biomass (FRB) and production (FRP) and their depth distribution and plant functional type (PFT) composition in four forested boreal peatland site types that varied in soil nutrient and water-table level regimes, ground vegetation and tree stand characteristics. Two were pine-dominated nutrient-poor sites (dwarf-shrub pine bog, tall-sedge pine fen) and two spruce-dominated nutrient-rich sites (Vaccinium myrtillus spruce swamp, herb-rich hardwood-spruce swamp). Measurements were done in two sites per site type: one undrained site and one site that had been drained for forestry. In each of the eight sites, we established three measurement plots. FRB was estimated by separating and visually identifying roots from soil cores extending down to 50-cm depth. The cores were taken in late August, 2016. FRP was estimated using ingrowth cores covering the same depth, and the separated roots were identified using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The ingrowth cores were incubated for two years, starting in November 2015 and ending in November 2017. Tree-stand basal area and stem volume per species, and projection cover of ground vegetation per species were determined in summer 2018. We monitored the soil water-table level and soil temperatures in 5 and 30 cm depths with dataloggers. Soil pH, bulk density, and carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, manganese, boron, zinc, and copper concentrations were measured from peat cores extending down to 50-cm depth and taken simultaneously with the FRB cores. FRB, FRP and peat properties are presented for 10-cm depth segments. FRB, FRP and peat properties are presented for 10-cm depth segments. Peat cores were taken with a box-shaped 65 mm x 37 mm peat corer, except in the wet TP site where a 60 mm x 60 mm corer was used.

    Description: Peat cores were taken in late August, 2016, with a box-shaped 65 mm x 37 mm peat corer, except in the wet TP site where a 60 mm x 60 mm corer was used. One core per plot = three cores per site were taken. The cores were divided into 10-cm segments from soil surface to 50 cm depth. Peat pH and bulk density were determined for each segment. For nutrient analyses, the segments representing the same depths from the 3 cores per site were combined and homogenized by milling. Drying temperature was 70 °C, and the dry matter content was estimated with a subsample dried at 105 °C.

    Description: Drainage of peatlands for forestry causes the water level to draw down, which results in subsidence of peat surface and increased peat bulk density (Db). Later on, an accelerated rate of organic matter decomposition and the pressure of the growing tree stand further compacts the peat. We measured the peat Db (0-80 cm) in 180 undrained and 209 drained (ca. 60-year-old) peatland sites representing three nutrient levels of pine fens and five macroclimatic regions from southern to northern Finland. Db was affected by climatic conditions, nutrient status, and the tree stand volume of the site. Db was significantly higher in drained than in undrained sites in all regions and site types: the mean (±SD) Db in the whole material was 82 ± 23 kg ·m-3 for the undrained sites and 133 ± 22 kg ·m-3 for the drained sites. The increase in Db was significant in all regions down to a depth of 60 cm and in southern Finland, even deeper than 80 cm. When the increase in carbon concentration was taken into consideration, the average postdrainage increase in the Db of the 0-80 cm layer equalled the amount of carbon in the 54-cm layer in average undrained peat. As the reported subsidences of peat surface in forest drainage areas in Finland are usually below this limit, the carbon storage of peat is likely to increase after drainage.
